Sloan Digital Sky Survey Telescope Technical Note 19971102 . ... Because of the difficulty of visually detecting thin patches of clouds under dark conditions, an infrared (IR) scanner was constructed in 1993 to monitor nighttime cloud cover at Apache Point Observatory. ... The left diagram (Figure 1) shows the scanner coordinate system. ... The loci of points at 15њ intervals in scanner coordinates are plotted on an azimuth-altitude polar plot (Figure 3). ...

... Polar Cap Potential . ... The solar wind propagation delay time calculation used here is conceptually similar to the T(IMF) calculation in Kelly, et al. ... The older continuous data are from key parameter data files. ... Note: Very high values of Solar Wind Speed, Solar Wind Pressure, IMF Magnitude and Bz, and Polar Cap Potential are likely indications that WIND has reentered the Earth's magnetosphere; such data is not indicative of solar wind conditions or impending severe geomagnetic disruption. ...

SAS_ODF . or named via the generic command line parameters -o or -odfdir (see taskmain for details). ... The source coordinates obtained from the ODF can be overridden with the command line paramters withsrccoord=yes srcra=<ra> srcdec=<dec> and withorthosrc=yes defines a fictitious source in the direction perpendicular to the orbital plane. ...

... Up: Software Systems and Tools . ... This case study examines the use of the latest software techniques for merging independent Java applets and applications. STScI's new Java interface to the archive, StarView II, will make use of the ST-ECF stand-alone FITS image viewer JIPA. We discuss how state-of-the-art software techniques like Remote Method Invocation (RMI), multithreading, and the Reflection API influence the design of a common interface between StarView II and JIPA. ...

We present results of new Monte Carlo calculations made with the DIRTY code of radiative transfer of stellar and scattered radiation for a dusty giant late-type galaxy like the Milky Way, which illustrate the effect of the attenuation of stellar light by internal dust on the integrated photometry of the individual bulge and disk components. ... In addition, we find that the structure of the dusty ISM affects more sensitively the observed magnitudes than the observed colors of both bulge and disk. ...

This program calls upon and coordinates much of the interrelated portions of the Talon architecture, and forms the primary control panel for the telescope, dome, and peripheral systems when used locally. ...

... Archives . ... The PCA and ICA is used for separating mixed components with some assumptions. ... The need of source separation methods in astronomy has led various adaptations of decomposition methods available. ...

Next: Initial conditions Up: Old neutron star distribution Previous: Introduction . The problem to be solved is to find stationary space distribution of stars which have had certain initial space and velocity distributions and move in a given potential. ... In principle, the most straightforward way to obtain the solution is to integrate directly the equations of motion for a sufficiently large number of stars with different initial conditions. ... Then space density is given by . ...
